Subject: gtk-theme-config: clicking on Revert silently removes the user's .gtkrc-2.0 file

Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2015 02:50:57 +0200

Package: gtk-theme-config
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

I was wondering why Iceweasel was no longer working as expected...
I finally found the cause: my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file had been removed.
Then I remembered that I used gtk-theme-config recently. After
some tests, clicking on the "Revert" button has this effect of
removing the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file, without even leaving a backup!

When changing some settings, gtk-theme-config modifies this file.
But when the user clicks on "Revert", gtk-theme-config should just
remove the settings it added, e.g. by using begin/end markers, not
the whole file! Or if is this too difficult, it should warn the
user before doing a destructive operation.

Note also that it isn't documented at all that gtk-theme-config
uses the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file. This is even more surprising as
gtk-theme-config depends on libgtk-3-0 (thus GTK+ 3, not GTK+ 2).
